Gallup: “The 17-point drop in the percentage of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily life — from 66% in 2015 to 49% today — ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.”

“About half of Americans now say religion is not an important part of their daily life.”

1. Religion

Is an important part of MY life but I keep it to myself and act accordingly.

[OrlandoDem2]

2. Yet the Reich wing Christian nationalists are at the peak of their power.

10. That's because they lie about everything and everybody

Just like Jesus did...oh, wait.

3. Would like to see it approach zero

6. Some people walk the walk and I would hate to lose them.

13. If they are good people, they would still do good things without the invisible sky daddy

15. Some people are built to believe in a higher power. It is a uniquely human ability.

Like all things human it can do good or do bad.

[NoRethugFriends]

18. I don't think it does good. There are good people whoi are religious (e.g. Jimmy Carter), but...

he would have been a good person without the religion.

20. I totally disagree. Carter would have been good no matter

what. My family members would have been good no matter what. But many find God and turn over a new leaf. Think some prison inmates.

4. Great news heading into the season of maximum hypocrisy

12 years of catholic school left me with a lifetime of well deserved skepticism

I would like to say to those new skeptics, Welcome.

5. Because too many religious leaders are fake charlatans.

[Johonny]

8. Too few religious leaders bother to speak out

About the clear abuse of religion to just make a shit load of money off stupid people.

7. Organized Religion has squandered people's

trust in them long ago. Members of the Catholic Church clergy and the clergy of many other faiths have had too many scandals that show their blatant hypocrisy. While they were preaching that their parishioners, and everyone else were "sinners, they were doing far worse things, than most of us would even consider doing.

I am not hiding I still believe in God, Jesus and the saints, but I will not deny or defend the bad things people do in the name of religion. I also firmly believe religion should not be part of the government, and up to each individual to choose whether they wish to participate in one, and which one. No one should be allowed to try and force their religious beliefs onto someone else.

9. Thank god!

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

17. Beat me to it 🤣

[-misanthroptimist]

21. I'm old but still pretty quick

...when I'm not napping, that is.

[purr-rat beauty]

11. I believe in something

But not sure what it is, how it looks, or feels.

It's too bad people want to paint pictures they can't truly interpret while tolerating the destruction of our existence and everything around us

And it is really weird that faith leaders are mostly silent in regards to the atrocities occurring in front of our eyes now here and afar. As if, they lack a constitution and faith driven courage to stand up against the devil's work.

All in all....we're just Sea Monkeys left in the tank and the creator is off to something new

[lindysalsagal]

12. IMHO importance of religion has been much lower these 50 years

But only now the current pollees are conscious of it and are willing to own it.

[DavidDvorkin]

14. America is finally growing up.

[Deep State Witch]

16. Faith Christianity

Once again, they're conflating religion with Christianity. Meanwhile, WitchTok is thriving.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

19. Hmmm...declining since around the time Trump descended the escalator!
